getting killed basically in the line of duty, trying to defend people in his consulate in benghazi. on top of that, and distracting sadly from it, is this side show. explain how you put it together, all that happened today. >> first of all, i want to say to the families of the four americans who died, this is a very tough day because we need our diplomats out there to be safe, being able to perform their job. the arab spring reaction on the u.s. side is going to involve the u.s. military in some cases but very few, mostly diplomatic efforts. it's a very tough day for america. in that context, i think governor romney has every right and obligation to criticize the current administration's foreign policy. but to go off without knowing all the facts and to go off at a time when -- if he had something helpful to say, he could have said it privately to the white house. i think it's a mistake politically. in the long run i think it's a mistake politically. it does cut him off from most republicans on capitol hill, as howard said, who have not been outspoken. i think it's the wrong thing t

in cairo, without any approval, put out a statement saying and the ambassador was killed over in ben benghazi, a totally different place. then mitt romney doubled down on his statement. >> obviously sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in europe instead of condemning their actions. it's never too early for the united states government to condemn attacks on americans and to defend our values. i think it's a terrible course for america to stand in apology for our values, that instead when our grounds are being attacked and being breached, that the first response to the united states must be outraged for the sovereignty of our nation. >> trying to get it straight about this, that was the most terrible statement i've heard in a long time. he never sympathized with the mobs. he certainly never sympathized with someone taking the lives of americans and someone serving our government. his people -- not even his people, regular career service people in cairo without checking with washington simply put out a statement. they said that they could share that they are not part of this abso

embassies have been on alert following the attack in ben benghazi. the west nile outbreak will be the worst since the virus was founded in 1999. and apple unveiled the highly anticipated iphone 5. it's thinner, bigger, and has a larger screen. now back to "hardball." >>> welcome back to "hardball." cleveland and cincinnati are at the center of the universe as ohio is a critical force in the election. it's hard to see how mitt romney can win the election without taking ohio where he's trailing right now. it's not just hot at the national level. and this race is being watched as democrats try and keep hold of the u.s. senator, i've always looked at you as a perfect hit for ohio. you seem like an ohio democrat. i can't believe you're getting challenged but i guess everyone has to worry about the self-financers that come along with a lot of big bucks trying to buy it at the last minute. what does this race look like right now? >> any reporter would tell you that this is not a race if it were not for the outside groups sort of directed -- the bands direct

no matter how many troops we have in benghazi, you can't fire across the crowd. you can't do that. and yet they think, he's talking about all we need are hired forced levels to deal with these very tricky ethnic and religious situations stirred up by some crazies out in california. >> people called colin powell too far to the right in terms of what he thought should be the american foreign policy. part of his policy, is he wants to expand the military troops to 100,000 and that plays really well in a state like virginia where there's a big military population. but americans are weary of war at this point, we already experienced a time where we did have two large land wars going into at the same time. he's going up against a different reality in terms of what america wants, and he has these neocons that are surrounding him. americans have since turned against and judged to be a war that was not worth fighting. >> one of the questions everybody in this business seems to have in journalism is what's going on with romney in the day that things happened? that moment when something happe

today out at andrews air force base honoring ambassador chris stevens and the three others killed in benghazi. that moving scene is america at our best, honoring our fellow citizens, especially those who serve our country. as individuals, and public servants. worthy of personal reverence. what a contrast with the rattie politics played on the other side. the dirt ball attack that never seems to end of this president's birth, painting him as the other. someone that pals around with terrorists, who sympathizes with the attackers, who gets his politics from overseas. i would like to hope when they have to judge a president holding up our country's honor and saluting the troops as individuals, not simply as
